Letus and Customs at DVinfo.net

Anyone experience delays? I sold my LetusHD to someone in Australia, and it still hasn't arrived after two weeks. I'm hoping customs doesn't tamper with it, since it does look suspicious with the wires and motor.

If the value of the consignment is more than a certain threshold, AU$1,000-00, I think, it will attract Australian goods and services tax.

If you shipped via UPS, their office in AU will contact the consignee to advise of fees due. This will only occur of course if a contact phone number has been given for the consignee and the consignee is actually contactable.

In past and recently, I have paid UPS over the phone, they have in turn paid customs and the item has arrived a day or so later.
